TRON Has A New SR Who Has Not Created Any Blocks

The TRON blockchain has employed a
different method of confirming transactions on the platform via the delegated
proof-of-stake introducing voting and centralization for speed and scalability.
Here, new blocks are created by validators uniquely known as Super
Representatives (SRs).

The Number Of SRs On The Platform

The TRON blockchain has more than 160
candidates vying for the super representative post. However, only 27 are selected.
The choice of who makes it to this list is influenced by the TRON community
through the consensus voting mechanism.

To become an SR a candidate has to
accumulate more votes than the ones collected by the last candidate on the
queue. Each SR is voted by their own community and through them, the community
can participate in the running of the TRON blockchain.

Apart from confirming transactions on
the platform, the Super Representatives are involved in
the technical governance of the platform.

Although anyone is allowed to apply to
become a Super Representative, an applicant must have more than 10000 TRX in
their account since 9,999 will first be burnt.

How Much SRs Earn

A Super Representative receives 32 TRX
coins for generating a block. The TRON blockchain will award 336,384,000 TRX
coins to all Super Representatives within one year.The block generation rewards
are credited to their sub-account in the superledger. The SR can then send the
rewards to their account once every 24 hours.

More than the block reward, the SR is
awarded vote rewards –16 TRX per every block generated. Therefore, the total
an SR earns for generating a single block is 48 TRX coins (vote reward plus
block reward).

Some SRs Are Not Confirming Blocks

Recently, a Twitter user noted one of
the 27 SRs, Intergalactic Gaming (IG), is not producing any blocks. A comment
on the thread suggested that an SR be removed from the list if they do not
produce a block within 24 hours.

TRON has a new SR who has not created any blocks. It’s time that we as a community safeguard the stability of the #TRON blockchain

IG is a gaming platform and seeks to
interface with the TRON blockchain. Responding to the claims that it’s not
confirming blocks, IG noted that its votes had declined due to people
unfreezing their TRX, new SRs vying to be included, and lack of significant
IGSR updates.

IG attributed people unfreezing their
TRX due to the recent bear market which hit the cryptocurrency industry. Note
that frozen coins cannot be spent since they are used to count SR’s votes.

Additionally, the gaming platform
noted that the fall in votes was due to their suspending loyalty rewards. The
rewards were added to the SR rewards voters received prompting them to withdraw
their votes.

The heightened competition to become a
Super Representative has been attributed as the main reason SRs are not
confirming blocks since voters are unfreezing their coins.

According to Mishalederman, a Twitter
user and Tron avid supporter, the issue of being an SR without confirming
blocks,

“Needs
to be discussed within the community and then raised to a vote by a currency SR
through a proposal for all the 27 SRs to take a stand on.”

This is an issue that needs to be discussed within the community and then raised to a vote by a current SR through a proposal for all the 27 SRs to take a stand on. It is time for progressive leadership among TRON SRs to ensure the stability, reliability & longevity of TRON.

Tron Dapps that aren’t shady “casinos” are almost none existent. Without the few with some actual promise like #IGGalaxy as a #TronSR the system will fail hard. In its current state rogue gambling dapps can use the house winnings to vote themselves in. Get enough in byebye tron
